Well, Spurs fans, we got what we wanted. The Spurs are the darlings of free agency 2015 – something our grandchildren will have a really hard time believing one day, and something I still have a hard time believing myself. In the time it takes to blink, the Spurs acquired the consensus No. 1 pick on the market, former Portland Blazer LaMarcus Aldridge; re-signed Kawhi Leonard to a max deal; somehow…

What are you doing with your summer? Whatever it is, it’s not nearly as awesome as what the Spurs’ front office is doing. I ran a half-marathon the morning of July 4th, which isn’t nothing. After crossing the finish line, cooling down, drinking some Powerade and eating some watermelon, I retrieved my phone. Like most Spurs fans, I had been getting anxious, awaiting news on LaMarcus Aldridge. Could he really…

Silver, black and white confetti rains onto the court of the AT&T Center for the first time in 12 years1. LeBron James sulks out of the arena, wondering how this could have happened two years in a row. How could that team, half of whose players arrived to the arena wielding canes or walkers, have sent him into the offseason with a swift kick in the pants and a ‘thank…

2015 Western Conference Playoffs First Round San Antonio 109, Los Angeles Clippers 111 Clippers win series 4-3 The main draw of the night was a boxing match, but the best fight of the night happened on a basketball court. What a game. It’s wrong to think of this as any failing on the Spurs’ part: this was a success for the Clippers. Over 7 games, the Spurs outscored the Clippers…

2015 Western Conference Playoffs First Round San Antonio 96, Los Angeles Clippers 102 Series tied 3-3 The San Antonio Spurs and Los Angeles Clippers have played 6 consecutive games, and we’re still left with more questions than answers. In a series that always wants to zag when it seems as if it should zig, I guess this is not all surprising. We’ve had three straight road wins, and four (out…

2015 Western Conference Playoffs First Round San Antonio 105, Los Angeles Clippers 114 Series tied 2-2 In a season when the team was never fully able to get a strong foothold nor overwhelming momentum, it’s only fitting that this first round series against the Clippers would go the same. So, a mere 40 hours after the Spurs once again looked like the unstoppable machine, they turned in a completely average…

2015 Western Conference Playoffs First Round San Antonio 111, Los Angeles Clippers 107 (OT) Series tied 1-1 When so much hinges on so many minute things, an interesting energy permeates a playoff series. Both teams had ample opportunity to seize a win last night or to completely fumble the game away; neither happened. Instead, two mostly equal teams played, and one just kind of outlast the other one. If the…

Season 48, Game 77 San Antonio 107, Golden State 92 51-26, 6th in the West He’d steal all of your eggs and chocolate bunnies if he had to (and if it helped the Spurs win, too). Has the evolution of a player’s perception altered as quickly and obviously as Kawhi’s defensive reputation has over the last three weeks? It’s gone from “he is a really good defender” to “haha, don’t…

Season 48, Game 76 San Antonio 123, Denver 93 50-26, 6th in the West As we have for so many years, once again we arrive at a 50-win season for the Spurs. Same as it ever was. As hard as it is to believe now, there was a time when this milestone was in real doubt this season. The team arrived at the halfway mark with only 25 wins and…

A few weeks ago, I had these great looking, silver and black, adjustable, one-size-fits-all, “GO SPURS GO” bracelets hand made in Mexico. Now I’m selling them to raise funds for one of my favorite charities. 100% of proceeds will go to the San Antonio Humane Society, so bid generously (click here). Go, Spurs, Go!
